FreakAngels
This blogger’s favourite writer, Warren Ellis, collaborating with Paul Duffield, brings us a might fine piece of comic book work, all for free. The story centres around 12 20-somethings piecing their lives and homes back together after an apocalyptic event flooded a large portion of the world.
